Luckily Gump has enough visionaries to leave room for the pragmatics, one of whom is me. ;-) I know that I don't have infinite time to spend on Gump (or anything else) and I really hate it when I start things and know I won't be able to finish them. So I try to focus on the places where I can be most effective. Right now I concentrate on getting as many things buildable as possible. By getting the metadata correct and the dependencies straight I'm far more effective for Gump than by fiddling with Python. It has been fun to go back and forth together with Niclas until we finally had most of Avalon building. I try to avoid the "wait 24 hours" part of Leo's other [RT] by offering my Gump setup for tests. This means that I don't have time to get up-to-speed with Python to help with actual Gumpy development. I can comment and chime in into the discussion and that's what I do. Having said that, my primary goals for Gump - after being able to build as much as possible - are support for different build systems (Maven, NAnt, make, ...) and making Gump reach beyond Java. The .NET platform may be tricky given the instability of Mono for non-Intel platforms (and in particular for non-Linux OSes on non-Intel platforms), but in the end I'd like us to be able to offer Gump as a service to the whole of the ASF.
